The Spanish speaking guide was essential for us!, and we loved the homestay experiences and the truly gross-roots introduction to Cuba” 
The tour certainly met our expectations. Our guide, Dady, was a fabulous young woman who is passionate about her country, very informed and happy to share her knowledge. The locations gave us a good look at different areas; the accommodation very clean, comfortable with friendly locals. Thanks, we would recommend your itinerary.
